Paradise & Associates

I work with management companies every day for a living. Never have I encountered such rude behavior or untimely responses as I have with Bob Paradise. I can only hope the owner of the building I live in considers a new, professional, management company. What a joke.

We have owned a condo managed by Paradise & Assoc. for the last seven years. We pay a large monthly H.O.A. fee. Every time something needs fixing they send letter to the home owners and split the cost by the units. Nothing ever seems to be covered by the fees. Their is something not right going on their with the finances. The maintenance men are not good. The staff are rude. They don't return your calls. We get treated like tenant's and not owners. Couldn't take it any longer. We sold our condo for a loss to get out. Steer c... read more

Knowing that Paradise manages around 150 buildings covering literally tens of thousands of units, the handful of negative reviews found here from anonymous individual owners probably isn't as bad as it seems. Serving on the board of one of their buildings I know first hand how people who get answers they don't like tend to interpret that as not getting answers, and then as an issue is pressed people will then complain that ongoing attempts to explain an answer are interpreted as getting different answers. It's been an eye-op... read more

Paradise Not Just Incompetent – Sounds like the same nightmare in our Condo. There is something criminal going on when it comes to selection of vendors and the frivolous projects Paradise promotes to our Board. Their hand picked vendors are rip-off artists. I thought Paradise was just incompetent, but they are working a system at our expense. Look for Paradise in the headlines soon.

Where do I start!!?? – This is not my first experience with a prop mgmt company but definitely the worst.Our asso switched to Paradise last year and it has been a nightmare.About 1/2 of what is to be done doesn't get done.Our Board does not follow the protocol for meetings that we have set and it has been brought to their attention but continues. The scare tactics that Paradise uses to get the Board to spend money on frivolous maintenance is continual. They ALWAYS use their companies for work that needs to be done and get bi... read more

Bottom of the worst – This is my third condo ownership and Paradise management really leave a lot to be desired. Certainly not the cheapest but absolutely the worst of the three in customer service. Total disregard for our associations money. Total disrespect for the owners concerns. Returning emails or phone calls takes days if returned at all. Definitely not experts in Condo Association Law so much has to be rehashed over and over until correct. Much better alternatives in TC's area

Pretty much Bottom in terms of property Management – One of the easiest thing any management company can do is at least be professional and return phone calls. Must say they are the absolute worst at it. I have to pretty much call at least, every day for 2.5 weeks straight, couple of times a day, before I can actually get a hold of anyone there to answer any questions. Once that goal is reached, next its the different answers, based on who you are talking to. Each time its a different answer, and cannot hold anyone accountab... read more

They have been excellent in my book – I see all these horrible ratings, so, I needed to add my experience. I live in a major condo in Bloomington that Paradise manages. They have always been prompt in answering our calls when something has needed to be done. Since we a re a big account for them, maybe we're lucky, who knows. Anyways, I give them a thumbs up. I've lived here for 4.5 years.

Will Not Return Calls – My husband and I have been trying to get in touch with Bob Paradise for an entire week. We have both called him multiple times every day this week and have not heard back from him at all. He will not return calls or e-mails, and his staff never knows where he is or when he will be returning. They want us to pay for a month's worth of parking for a parking spot that we don't even have a car to park in. Apparently a week and a half's notice that you don't need the spot the next month is too short of not... read more
